Hilux 4x4 Forum

Scott

I have fitted a kzte motor with 5Lt manual pump and got a bell housing from importers.There is some modifications and there is a huge difference in power.

Scott

last three days working close to 30 to 40 megawatt furnaces outside it is 32c what a pleasure but the upside is that three long weekends in February.

Scott

From what I understand the cheap chineese sh1t has a * before the engine number and original y series not.This was told to me by an importer ?

Scott

working on driving swambo up the wall but am back tomorrow.dammit.but life is such.

Scott

It looks awsome and I see you were caring the locals food around.

Scott

Thanks all I fixed it this morning but had to find out how to get the lug in the end had a spare and figured out that if you push the ratchet springs down it will move forward past the last notch.

Scott

look at the storm rating of the tent that allso should give you some indication to how water it is.

Scott

I pulled mine out at the year end function so I am looking at the forum how to fix.

Scott

Why 333 and not 4 is the question. As said we have our own problems of poaching but we make noise here but the real problem is overseas and if more noise was made there the demand may drop. I think if tens of millions of people said they would not look at buying Japanese products because of their ac...

Scott

i agree it must be stopped.

Scott

Have you got a manual or electric fuel pump as the V6 manual pump was known to overheat and stop pumping.

Scott

If you have the time summons the owner too small claims court for your losses as he has to appear himself and he will more than likely settle due to his time not being worth the money owed.

Scott

Another 2 cents from me is that check the stopping power as the pistons seize up good indicator is hit the breaks on a dirt road at about 50 and see if you get drag marks from all 4 wheels.

Scott

Scott

Remember the 100km/h rule and be polite to the officials/mmmm and all should be good.Have a great trip.

Scott

sounds good count me in

Scott

looks like you had good weekend.

Scott

I think it is the luck of the draw.I got a motor from a mate with a manual pump and it runs well(touch wood or something) and have towed the wilk but still need to do a proper test.As to not revving the motor I helped someone start a Isuzu last weekend and he gave it revs so that it would not become...

Scott

Tumelo I have been devourced and had issues call Neil get my number and I will give my 2C worth as I deal with law firms.

Scott

Neil you make 4Th Benoni look like a militia group.As to what you put in the ice cream tub will get you through but typical scouts.lol.

Scott

Richard I have a SFA and the lights are not that good but on my last trip to the northwest I found that the old spots really made a difference although there was 130 w globes in.They are a cheep way of getting extra light and if you break them you wont be that upset.

Scott

It is always good to see where people can go for a short drive and have a day out.I will look out for places as well.

Scott

Biltong and digestive biscuits are always a winner.also drink o pop or something to kill the taste of iffy water.

Scott

Louis it has been a while since I have looked for EFI parts as I have put the KZTE in but one of my friends was a engine importer and I have a costumer that also imports.They sometimes import tsunami containers and containers from the UK that are a lucky dip when you open the container.My mate used ...

Scott

Geoff have a look at some of the engine importers as when I had a 4Y they were willing to swop carb for fuel injection manifold and that consumption looks very high looks as if something is wrong maybe speak to kempton carb and they might have some advise.

Scott

Freezing cold and wind blowing.But they were proud on completing it.Nice pics Niel.

Scott

Will need 4L V6 to push those tyres and well fuel consumption will be a dirty word.But what a bute.

Scott

EVERY thing is on the forum so if you hunt for it you will find step by step instuctions.

Scott

I would do EFI conversion first as I Had 4y and it was a struggle.The rest can follow 1x1 to become a good 4x4.

Scott

so what did it cost to make ?

Scott

I think the "government" if we want to call it that.Has shown us in the past and present that it will enforce what it seams beneficial to the ANC and its members just look at all the moneys that municipalities loose and nothing is ever enforced as it is theft.

Scott

At the auctions a good hilux are going above book and sometimes even retail so I asked one of the second hand dealers and he said he sells them above retail in a lot of cases.

Scott

ronnie which province are you in

Scott

I have got better prices for new leafs.

Scott

Good luck I had a lot of problems with mine but got everything working by looking at the wire coloring and cutting the alarm box out except central locking.

Scott

i have had steel pipes to get the pipes to line up an it does work.Also look at the KZTE radiator.

Scott

You may have problem with trailer rental companies as the one way trips cause problems as how do they get there trailer back.Just something to think about.

Scott

My vote would be Michelin but also look at Firestone as they are produced in SA with our dirt roads in mind.

Scott

In terms of comfort remember that when a SFA is loaded as I expect you would be they are a lot better in the ride department than when empty.
In terms of Engine in the SFA 2.4 diesel or 4y,but as they say it would be wise to get someone to find you a good one.

Scott

Thanks Dawie

Scott

Bendan the problem with easy outs is that the expand the metal it may be cheaper to find out from the workshops etc on people that specialize on stud removal on sight and in the van.otherwise tap/alan key/youtube.

Scott

had them before and no problems.Kilos ?

Scott

Dawie my sfa is the same but what is your revs at 100km and at 120km.

No Ranesh due to the compression escaping into the water jackets it would not start.

Scott

Have had a Toyota diesel blow a radiator and it was due to blowing a head gasket.The compression was going into the water jackets.Suggest buy a compression tester and run through the 4 x cylinders.

Scott

The simplest way is to take a thick wire from the battery + and hold it on the glow plug rail for 6 to 10 seconds and then start in the morning(so you will need a assistant).Be careful that the wire does not burn your fingers as glow plugs pull allot.

Scott

when I got my first sfa the hubs would not lock and all I done is removed the bolts(10mm socket) then cleaned it with paraffin as the grease was solidified this may be your problem,should take less than 2 hours.look on the forum there is a step by step for hub seals but you only have to do the first...

Scott

Only caught the end will look to catch it again nicely done Mr T and was also surprised to see how fit you are running up that hill.

I have a Wilk topaz that has been raised which is a simple conversion to give the body extra clearance.However what worries me is the clearance of the axle.

Scott

Nico it was a LUK,but as I found out there is three different flywheels for the KZTE/D4d.When I phoned around the recessed flywheel that had the 260mm clutch plate was the expensive one.the one I have in is the 250mm non recessed flywheel.

Scott

I went the Kzte route and it is an improvement on what I had before.Engine R19000/bellhousing R1250/Flywheel R850/Clutch kit R1300/Exhaust R850/pipeing etc/R1000.

Scott

looks great.

Scott

got it open but need to know what the next service is due at.

Scott

Try someone with autodata mine will not open but will fix and see what I CAN SEND YOU.

Scott

No problem call me zero8four5two7six3six9 and if I could add my 2 cents I recommend Shell oil.

Scott

I have one for a import back R400
